A94772	The Scriptures proved to be the word of God, and the only foundation of faith, and rule for our obedience. Or, A clear conviction of the errours of those that are called Quakers. Who blasphemously affirm that the Scriptures are not the word of God, nor the foundation of faith, nor the only rule for our obedience ... / By Sampson Tounesend, minister of the Gospel, and pastor of S.

word_n of_o god_n reason_n 13._o the_o sweet_a harmony_n of_o the_o scripture_n prove_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o no_o writing_n of_o man_n do_v so_o debase_v man_n exalt_v god_n and_o press_v man_n to_o obedience_n but_o the_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v all_o agree_v together_o in_o these_o thing_n and_o although_o there_o be_v many_o penman_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n in_o their_o writing_n but_o the_o old_a testament_n witness_n to_o the_o new_a and_o the_o new_a to_o the_o old_a it_o be_v not_o thus_o in_o the_o writing_n of_o man_n therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o write_n of_o god_n reason_n 14._o if_o they_o be_v write_v by_o man_n they_o be_v write_v either_o by_o good_a man_n or_o bad_a man_n but_o they_o be_v not_o write_v by_o bad_a man_n for_o they_o hate_v the_o purity_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o be_v sure_a they_o be_v not_o write_v by_o good_a man_n as_o the_o author_n thereof_o for_o they_o abhor_v to_o lie_v and_o say_v the_o lord_n say_v if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o say_v the_o word_n therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n reason_n 15._o the_o wonderful_a call_n of_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n to_o make_v know_v the_o scripture_n do_v manifest_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n see_v for_o moses_n how_o he_o be_v call_v exod._n 2.7_o 10._o and_o 3.2_o act_n 7.20_o 21._o and_o amos_n and_o divers_a of_o the_o apostle_n be_v unlearned_a man_n which_o have_v not_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o school_n of_o man_n amos_n 7_o 14_o 15._o mark_v 1.16_o and_o yet_o these_o declare_v the_o scripture_n which_o manifest_n more_o wisdom_n than_o all_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v declare_v yea_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v unlearned_a and_o ignorant_a man_n speak_v in_o several_a tongue_n the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n to_o the_o admiration_n of_o the_o hearer_n act_n 2.11_o and_o 4.13_o this_o can_v not_o come_v from_o man_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 16._o no_o writing_n of_o man_n can_v declare_v the_o heavy_a wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n and_o the_o remedy_n how_o to_o get_v rid_v of_o that_o wrath_n but_o this_o do_v the_o scripture_n psa_n 9.17_o rom._n 5.9_o 1_o thess_n 5.9_o luke_n 21.36_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 17._o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n then_o certain_o god_n will_v not_o have_v wrought_v so_o many_o miracle_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o man_n say_n but_o there_o be_v many_o miracle_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 18._o no_o creature_n angel_n man_n or_o devil_n if_o all_o be_v put_v together_o can_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o declare_v before_o hand_n what_o particular_a person_n shall_v be_v bear_v and_o what_o shall_v be_v their_o name_n and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v some_o thousand_o and_o hundred_o year_n before_o their_o parent_n be_v bear_v but_o this_o do_v the_o scripture_n as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o messiah_n gen._n 3.15_o isa_n 9.6_o 7._o and_o josiah_n 1_o king_n 13.2_o 2_o king_n 23.16_o 17._o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 19_o no_o man_n will_v write_v and_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n their_o own_o fail_n and_o infirmity_n but_o many_o of_o the_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v declare_v their_o own_o fail_n and_o infirmity_n which_o they_o will_v never_o have_v do_v have_v they_o not_o be_v move_v thereunto_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 20._o all_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o scripture_n from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v be_v punctual_o perform_v and_o fulfil_v but_o so_o be_v not_o all_o man_n prophecy_n therefore_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 21._o the_o word_n of_o man_n be_v often_o break_a but_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v break_v john_n 10.35_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n reason_n 22._o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o church_n of_o god_n will_v long_o before_o this_o time_n have_v find_v they_o out_o to_o be_v only_o the_o word_n of_o man_n as_o jeremiah_n find_v out_o hannaniah_n jer._n 28.15_o 16._o and_o as_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n find_v out_o the_o false_a apostle_n rev._n 2.2_o but_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n in_o the_o scripture_n have_v ever_o be_v hold_v forth_o by_o the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o a_o proclamation_n upon_o a_o pillar_n 1_o tim._n 3.15_o now_o as_o a_o proclamation_n receive_v not_o its_o authority_n from_o the_o pillar_n nor_o the_o light_n from_o the_o candlestick_n that_o bear_v it_o so_o neither_o do_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n receive_v their_o authority_n from_o the_o church_n or_o any_o member_n thereof_o but_o from_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a author_n thereof_o and_o so_o all_o christian_a church_n acknowledge_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n 1._o reason_n show_v it_o 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n persuade_v it_o isa_n 59.21_o 3._o the_o scripture_n themselves_o affirm_v it_o and_o 4._o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o conclude_v this_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n only_o then_o 1._o man_n shall_v teach_v himself_o his_o duty_n towards_o god_n 2._o we_o shall_v have_v no_o certain_a rule_n for_o our_o faith_n and_o religion_n 3._o there_o shall_v be_v no_o necessity_n of_o read_v and_o hear_v the_o scripture_n 4._o if_o we_o deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o cast_v off_o all_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o eternal_a life_n john_n 5.39_o and_o last_o doubt_v of_o this_o expose_v we_o to_o all_o atheism_n and_o contempt_n of_o religion_n and_o justice_n therefore_o see_v as_o have_v be_v full_o prove_v the_o scripture_n themselves_o and_o reason_n also_o make_v it_o apparent_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n let_v we_o believe_v they_o be_v so_o and_o as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v phil._n 3.16_o let_v we_o walk_v by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o mind_n the_o same_o thing_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o do_v with_o the_o first_o proposition_n that_o the_o scripture_n contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n common_o call_v the_o bible_n be_v the_o reveal_v will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n prop._n ii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o proposition_n that_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a foundation_n for_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o only_a rule_n for_o our_o obedience_n this_o proposition_n fall_v into_o these_o two_o part_n 1._o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o only_a foundation_n for_o our_o faith_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n for_o our_o obedience_n i_o shall_v very_o brief_o speak_v to_o both_o these_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o only_a foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n 1._o the_o scripture_n be_v
